I hadn't flown in nearly two weeks and the flight portion of my CP is scheduled for tomorrow morning. So, today I went up and practiced maneuvers again just to knock off the rust. Winds were pushy but I pushed back. Landings were good considering the gusts... 28014G22.
I didn't have too bad of a day until some moron thought it appropriate to enter the pattern on base and not announce it until then. At the time, I was abeam the numbers and had already called downwind twice. So, I end up with a 2.6 mile final thanks to this moron. I bit my tongue on saying anything on the radio.
Upon leaving the airport, I check voice mail and it's the DE asking if I was free this afternoon to finish up rather than tomorrow morning. I could have been holding a temporary ticket right now. Doh!
